Out Of The Woodwork

Back in March I posted the reason why I decided to remove the Mars Rover Weblog from my blogroll. Basically, it was because of all of the crackpot comments which were being posted by all of these conspiracy theory fans who saw evidence of life, or of a prior civilization, in every photo. I wasn't the only amateur astronomer who did the same. So I was quite surprised when after some time had passed, that I received the following comment in response to my post:

Very nice of you to diagnos us on the Mars Rover Forum with a mental illness. I Believe the person who wrote this is the poster who previously wentby the name They're Rocks and has done this purly for spite reasons. An extreamly insultive gentalman who is positive that no one elses opinion has merit except his own and demands it of you. I for one do not believe in a conspiracy within Nasa because they would not make available all of the photos if they were. IF any of you who read this want to find out for yourself please go to the JPL rover website and study Spirits photos for yourself and I invite you to be the judge.

Can anybody out their tell me what point, if any, the above quoted classmate of Stephen Hawking is trying to make? Certainly nothing he had to say here did anything but convince me that I was right to stop wasting my time with the people wearing the tinfoil hats. All I can say is that they'd better keep them on. It's not the government that can read your thoughts. I can read your thoughts.

Now I'll be warping out of orbit.
